Style: intense poignant dynamic death metal

second and the last album by Swedish death superproject reveals an uncompromising, extreme nature with its title already, not to mention the crushing music, which in four years since the debut has evolved mainly toward an even more straightforward execution, and indeed dozen mostly short tracks pull no punches, delivering knockout blows with particularly harsh-sounding riffs, low-tuned, murky soundscapes, precise rhythmic construction and Tompa’s signature sharp vocal tone that emphasizes chaotic atmosphere and the resulting musical drive, pointing to a focused old-school assault that forms a highly cohesive extreme metal paradigm; special German digipak edition comes with additional Slaughter and Possessed covers
